INDIA UPDATE THURSDAY 8AM

We are having the most wonderful time. We did not know God could use to minister as he has. Talk about getting out of our comfort zone.

Tuesday we preached in 2 churches, one a small thatched roof building with approximately 75 or more people crammed in. After every service the people just crowd to the front of the churches for us to lay our hand on their head and say a short prayer for them. The little churches desire is to build an actual building to keep the flood waters out!!!!

Wednesday was an unbelievable day for us! The Pastors Conference had 120 male Pastors and 13 female Pastors/Evangelists. Bo and I encouraged them in the Lord, the meeting was only 3 hours long and we could have been there 4 or 5 hours. After I was graciously allowed to speak, we washed the feet of all the Pastors and annointed them with oil and prayed for each one. The Pastors were in total shock that we would wash there feet. It was a most humbling experience for us, but blessed us more than it did them. GOD IS SO GOOD!!! ALL THE TIME!!

Wednesday night we had the first of the "Great Gospel Meetings". Williams Ray decided that I would preach Wednesday and Friday and Bo would preach on Thursday. The service had approximately 2,500 people attending from many villages. Williams Ray was very disappointed that we did not have more. But the Pastors conference got started later than expected which made many Pastors getting back to their villages too late to come back for the Meeting. We were just excited that so many came.

I was very blessed and portrayed the Apostle Peter and told of his walk with Jesus Christ and different miracles that Jesus performed and then the Crucifixtion and Resurrection. The people were very respectful and listened intently.

The children are so loving!!!! They all want to touch our hands and hug and kiss us!! It is wonderful.

We have been eating their food and God has blessed and kept us healthy and strong. The heat amazingly has not been stifling. The rains have stopped for our visit. BUT our driver is a mad man. People drive all over the road in 3 wheel cars, motorcyles, buses and large work trucks. If we honked our horns and passed people, missing them by inches, ROAD RAGE would end in mass kaos at home. Pray for our safety as we have the fastest car on the road.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS!!!!!

GOD BLESSING EVERYONE!!!

Steve, Cheryl, Bo, Alyssa and Kennis
